$('button').click(function() {

$('button').click(function() {
// Write code here
const newName = $('#name-input').val();
$('.profile-name').text(newName);
});

1,254 PointsCan you elaborate more on your confusion? Essentially the users inputs something, and cons newName sets newName to the value submitted in the input field. In this case, it starts off stating that the name of the Developer is Treasure Porth, but you want to change that to possibly yourself. So you input your own name, hit submit, then it should say "Keytron Brown" "I am a web developer". Assuming you put Keytron Brown into the input field.
